Özgür Özel spoke in Çekmeköy: Sent greetings to İmamoğlu

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel spoke at the Çekmeköy Municipality collective opening and groundbreaking ceremony.

Highlights from Özel's speech are as follows:

From here, I send greetings to İmamoğlu, who has opened 104 nurseries so far, when the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality had none.

Today, there is a system in Turkey where poverty is acknowledged, but it is preferred to be managed rather than eradicated.

'WE ARE NOT CONDEMNED TO POVERTY'

The main issue is to bring inflation down to single digits, increase the growth rate, raise the country's income, intervene in distribution, and increase purchasing power by growing the country.

None of us are condemned to poverty, hunger, unemployment, or insecurity.

Where the minimum wage is 17 thousand liras; if you rent a house, you go hungry; if you feed yourself, you end up on the street; if you have a child, you get a 'Well done,' but you can neither feed them nor provide them with a proper education.
